Anzacs
Every year ANZAC comes around,
proud diggers gather around the RSL.
Little does the mob reveal of their past,
the life of mud, thirst,bombs and Hell.
Some will drink to bad times past,
Some will drag out their musty medals of cloth and metal tarnished lime,
Some will stand silent; some marching in time,
Until they make their passage to the Cenotaph,
perhaps to get a sign,
of why there was a waste of life that didn’t last.
For all the medals both burnished and shiny,
Service medals, Crosses, and bright ribbons mean very little
compared...

The Bitch
She entered my world like a fiery comet,
with a flutter of the eyes and some targeted comment.
I was alone and feeling very blue and in a senseless trap,
She spoke all the words that I wanted to hear,
I fell for this diatribe like some unsuspecting sap.
Like a snake it turned and twisted to get what she wanted
and all while her fake smiles she flaunted.
I believed her excuses even when I was betrayed,
The evidence was against her for all to believe
but I wouldn’t hear of it and had my confidence flayed.

The Left Jab
In your dome built of perspex and toughened glass,
You have built a mighty defense meant to last and last.
It is 10 foot wall of steel and barbed wire.
(Only Obama could construct one even higher).
It’s when you do your left jab so fast,
I see a glimpse through that shield, that doesn’t last,
of a fragile butterfly with a broken wing,
and the hurt, anger and rage within.
I have lost a few bouts that have cut and bruised my skin,
they have only served to make me more sensitive within.
For I can see you in your darkness,
Hear you in...

you still Piss me off!
It has been almost 50 years and I still hate you Tess and your Species!
You at 15 was the neighborhood bully with no girlfriends,
I was almost 11 and bullied by a brother who wanted to keep me in my place.
It was obvious that that we were a very strange couple
probably more out of self-pity than any real friendship or mates.
I was with you in the scrub when nature did call,
I found a hairy caterpillars nest and did piss upon it in delight.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw you pull your pants down and thought you would do the same

stress level four
Events that should cause no alarm
cause butterflies in stomach
and a fuzz in the brain
where goes the calm?
Having anger without a cause,
being on a knife edge without a knife
and sounds that echo like a chasm
indistinguishable from noise.
Don't know whether to cry or scream
and have tears that never wet the skin,
a heart as dry as the driest desert
and I still don't know what you mean.
My sight is dark as looking at the sun,
what disease was it?; the result is the same
the candle was blown out
where did I lose my...

bye
I did not ask or even try to feel like this
It just happened without a kiss.
It is not the words that were never said,
nor the kind thoughts that raced through my head.
It is not the coffee we never had or could,
Or the vacant space where you once stood
but it is a case of me having to move on with a heavy sigh,
perhaps the best way is to simply say,
bye!

will i ever learn?
Sure it is right to are say "how are you mate"
but do they ever listen to your full wholesome tale
of how you have tried and tried
and yet still seem to fail.
I reach out for the assistance
often so near and close
yet my arm is always too short
for anyone to notice.
The friends that seem so bright and colorful
like some reef sea anemone,
close shut at the first sign of trouble
as if you were the enemy.
This stressful quest, to have someone listen,
i still have to yearn
but the result is always the same ...

I miss you my friend
I miss your broad smile and nervous laughter
I just hope it has not gone thereafter.
It was that action that caught my eye,
I was feeling full of gloom, doom and fear.
It was your happy spirit that lend me your ear,
It seems your mission has waned and has said goodbye.
'Out of control and acting a little mad,
You gave me support like a true friend,
Now I am disappointed that it had to end,
Leaving me unbroken, but just a little sad.
I don't know if it is stress or my emotions raw,
You now seem to avoid my company and pathetic jokes...

How I killed a poodle
I am not a Poodle
I can’t remember when you last hugged me with all your might,
I can’t remember when you last kissed me here on the right.
I can’t remember when you last sat beside me and held my hand tight,
I can’t remember when you last seduced me in the night.
I can remember you staying up late, until I’m asleep,
I can remember you rising early, to not be caught under the sheet,
I can remember you lying motionless, as I kissed you down your side,
I felling like a bus driver and you going along for just the ride.

I am not a Poodle!
I can’t remember the last time you hugged me tight,
Nor the time you came up to me and kissed me on the right.
When did you last hold me by the hand and sweet words said,
Or the time that you last seduced me to the bed?
But I remember you, staying up at night until I am asleep,
The early rise, to make sure you don’t get caught under the sheet.
I also remember making love with tender kisses on your side,
I feel like the bus driver, you are merely go along for the ride.
You maintain your conjugal rights to try to keep this matrimonial bliss,...

Stress Level Six
The wiring of the body was all wrong; one of God’s electricians had a lot to answer for on that day.
The hair on his body was no longer warmth giving fur but was now bristles.
The bristles while unchanged to the human eye were now electrified to the slightest provocation.
The mere hint of conflict caused the bristles to fire off a change of events.
The pupils dilated, the heart pounded, the voice became amplified 3 decibels.
The flight or fight response only knew one answer RAGE.
Eat or be Eaten!
The response was instantaneous, electric and no...

Stress Level Seven
The day starts like a slumber with the waking at the sound of thunder.
"Where is this.. ? Can you do this.. ? I have someone waiting..? "
Give me this moment and I will gather my thoughts.
"But where is my ... ? I can you do this.. ? Can I leave you with this.. ? "
I said let me gather my thoughts. One at a time, first. Please leave me alone.
"It's all about you. All you ever think about is me,me,me...."
Leave me alone I need to gather my thoughts.
